When I first moved from MN to Oak Island, for a long time Rita was my only friend who would actually hang out with me. We had so much fun together! From a private sword swallowing presentation to countless movies and dining out, from riding around in her convertible to Mexican train domino games, from her grandson’s winning ball games to alligator safaris in her golf cart, we had the most fun. She loved her convertible. I was always welcome at her home. I will always treasure her friendship....
